In bright clear anodized........





You have now. Just picked them up today. Pictures absolutely do not do these justice. The look is just unreal. Highly recommend the finish if you're looking for a departure from polished.

Those do look great. I'm not familiar with anodized wheels - do they have a protective coating on them that negates the need for polishing every so often? How are the barrels of the wheels finished - same as the face? Was there a price difference between those and the high polished versions? Finally, do the factory tire pressure sensors mount on the wheels just like on OEM wheels?

They're anodized, so polishing is out, which we my biggest draw. According to John @ CCW though, you have to keep them clean as anything corrosive (he specifically mentioned Hawk brake pads) if left on will eat the anodization off. Should be able to Zaino them and just use Z6 to wipe them down.

They're same design as the regular polished SP500 so tpms bolt right in.

They were about $300 more than polished.
